Zeal for traditional architecture, authenticating details, and the accoutrements of fine homes distinguish neighborhoods of the David Bagwell Company. Respect bordering on reverence is accorded well-developed plans, which are accepted from only the area’s best designers. Building acumen and artisanship are manifest wherever one looks, as only builders with common commitment and capacity are permitted to build there.

Befitting these refined homes is an extraordinary neighborhood setting, each one comprised of unique features that engender a halcyon Sense of Place. Beauty abounds in broad open areas, lakes and streams, lovely vistas, native woods, pathways, trails, and trees.

If, as admirers say, trees are the signature element of David Bagwell Company communities, their hallmarks are neighborhood-identifying features, engaging elements like exclamation marks in recognition that “I’m home!” Among these fetching features are stone, steel, and stained glass entry monuments of Wrightian provenance, a 600 foot long vine covered pergola that’s almost perpetually in bloom, a hilltop belvedere overlooking eastern Colleyville, a 250 year old barn relocated from western New York and restored beside one of many neighborhood lakes, and the breath-taking Hadrian limestone Pavilion Nonpareil, locus of many wedding photos, special occasions, and intimate ceremonies.

And, there are the flowers. As with trees selected for their engaging spring, summer, fall, and, yes, winter aspect, the changing flower selections in natural settings, such as wildflowers cultivated along the Solidago Trail and in “Wild About Colleyville” patches, as well as ornamental flowers in formal entryway bed plantings, satisfy both the sensate and the spiritual search for beauty that virtually all share.

In the undistinguished subdivisions so common to our times, what’s invisible is also missing there. However, in developments of the David Bagwell Company, what’s invisible -- high aesthetic ideals and the talent and energy to achieve them -- is everywhere for one to see. These qualities are at the heart of the timeless, evocative neighborhood appeal of each one. Pay us a visit soon and see what’s invisible for yourself.
